2. Oil production plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_production_plant

   The associated gas is generally compressed, dew-pointed and exported via a dedicated pipeline. If gas export is uneconomical then it may be flared. Onshore terminals frequently have large crude oil storage tanks to allow offshore production to continue if the export route becomes unavailable. Export to the oil refinery is either by pipeline or ...

3. Onshore (hydrocarbons) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onshore_(hydrocarbons)

   Onshore oil terminals may include large crude oil tanks for the initial storage of oil prior to processing. Such tanks provide a buffer volume where oil is delivered by tanker. The oil tanker delivery rate is considerably greater than the processing capacity of the plant. Crude oil tanks also allow offshore production to continue if the export ...

4. External floating roof tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_floating_roof_tank

   An external floating roof tank is a storage tank commonly used to store large quantities of petroleum products such as crude oil or condensate.

   Oil produced from offshore production platforms can be transported to the mainland either by pipeline or by tanker. When a tanker is chosen to transport the oil, it is necessary to accumulate oil in some form of storage tank, such that the oil tanker is not continuously occupied during oil production, and is only needed once sufficient oil has ...
